OUR FRIEND THE GORILLA.


Not Such FerOciOus Beast After ALL
Characteristics of Youngster.
Dr. Van llarcn, who passed several
years in the delta Of the Gaboon river,
confirms Professor Brehm's opinion that
the gorilla uses his stout arms chiefly for
two purposes: to bend down branches
that would break under the weight Of
his body, and to dart off with wildcat
speed at the approach of a hunter. He
will avoid conflict as long as he can use
his limbs for locomotive purposes, and
if the whole truth were known the man
killing monster would turn out to be
nothing but AN overgrown orang. Van
Haren secured two youngsters, who
failed to survive the first year Of their
captivity, but conducted themselves very
much like the pet of the Berlin aquarium,
which at first was supposed to be an al
together exceptional specimen.
One of them was purchased from a
river boatman, and proved to he in a
badly crippled condition, but never be-
trayed its ill-humor by anything worse
than a plaintive grunt He now and
then would leave his couch in quest of
tidbits and ransack every trunk he could
open, but would promptly defer TO the
first protest. a lifted finger was enough
to make him limp back to his corner.
He learned to hobble forth at the bidding
of his master and seemed to get recon-
ciled to his captivity, but his broken leg
kept him moaning all night, and he died
from general exhaustion. His SUCCESSOR
Il -.
default of milk had to be fed ON half
boiled eggs. He would cling to his mas
ter's arm and move his lips with a sup
plicating humble, a strangely expressive
plea for protection, or perhaps for u
mouthful of more congenial nourish-
ment, for the poor little kid evidently
loathed his egg diet, and at sight of a
fresh installment would retreat with
frog-like jumps and all sorts of ludicrous
grimaces.
Strange to say, he seemed very fond of
liquor, and ogled every bottle with the
leer of dyspeptic; but it was afterward
ascertained that his first owner had fud-
died him with gusk, or sweetened palm
brandy. There was nothing sanguinary in
mis- symptoms of youthful depravity. He
would not touch meat in any form. Even
hash excited his grins of disapprobation
He was evidently averse to cruelty, for
at sight of dog-fight between combat
ants of rather unequal size he rushed
forth and shrieked out an appeal to the
Mercy of the victor. All the character
traits of the alleged ogres tended to con-
firm Professor Brehm'sa priori that a
creature with a frugiferous organism
should be swayed by the passions of a
werewolf, DIR. Felix l.. Oswald in Chi
cago Times.

How Do Quails Hide ?

The Little School-ma'am has
heard that a gentleman of Texas,
named Henry Ray, has discovered
the secret of the quail's being able
to hide so well. He was walking in
a field when covey of birds was
flushed, or, in other words, startled
from its resting place. One alight-
ed near him, and the moment it did
so, seized a dead oak leaf crouched
to the ground and managed to hide
itself completely under the leaf. Mr.
Ray said that he had to 20 and turn
over the leaf before he could believe
the evidence of his own eyes.
Now, my young observers and in
quirers, after this, don't forget to
take special notice of quail whenever
you happen to be near their possible
haunts. You needn't turn over
every oak leaf in the woods; but keep
your eyes open, that's all.-St Mich
Olas.

At the West Point Riding
School.

1t is accounted great fun" to wit
ness the first rides of the yearlings,
81 we will go down there and laugh
at their mishal,s.
Mounting the stairs to the gallery,
we look down upon II large space
strewn with tanbark, mt one end of
which is row of some twenty horses
with watering-bridles. Soon the
performers file in and come to II halt
in front of the horses. Do they in
tend to ride with only Il watering
bride, without even saddle or blank
ct? They will try to, at ali events.
The instructor commands.
"Stand to horse Prepare TO
mount. MountW
In obedience to his command the
cadets spring, struggle, leap, and
kick, in their efforts to bestride their
steeds. The moment they are
mounted, several horses develop as
tonishing bucking propensities, to
the anguish of their riders, and the
delight of the gallery. Now they
start around the hall at walk. 1t
seems rather tame, doesn't it? But
soon the command "trot!" is given,
and the fun begins. The poor fell
lows bounce about ON the horses
backs like India-rubber boys, and
wabble from side t. side like Jump
ing,jacks. The trot is accelerated,
the horses take the gallop, and dash
around the hall, tumbling their
riders in heaps at the corners, while
those who by chance are still mount
ed grasp frantically at their horses
names. Finally, the gait is reduced
to walk; line is formed; the dis
mounted yearlings, nothing daunted
catch their horses and remount, and
then the performance is repeated.
five had visited the gymnasium
and fencing academy in the morning
we should have seen sections of the
fourth class exercising under IA
rigid system of instruction; and if
from there we had gone to the rid
ing-hall at the hour of first-class at
tendance, we should have seen ex-
hibited the high degree of muscular
skill and activity to which the sys-
tenn of training in gymnasium and
riding-hall brings cadets. For the
tirst-class cadets ride like Indians.
1t is immaterial to them whether
they have Il saddle or blanket or ride
bareback. They leap hurdles, 60
through the saber exercise, and are
adopts at pistol practice; they mount
dismount, vault their horses and
pick up articles from the ground, all
while at full speed; they ride for
ward, backward, sideways, and dou-
bic; lying down, kneeling and stand.
ing up. Visitors at the riding-hall
during first-class hours go to admire
not to laugh.-St. Nicholas.

Very Important, if True

In letter written by Philip Gill
bert Hamerton occurs the following
strange story; Here is something
new. A rich French count, Count
de Chardonct. who lives at Clergy, on
the banks Of the Saone, near Chalons,
has recently perfected a most won
derful discovery. He replaces the
silk worm by machine which d.
gests certain common substance and
afterwards gives off real sill in great
quantity, sixty threads at once. Tie
silk so produced can be treated in
all respects for manufacture exactly
like worm silk, from which it is in
distinguishable. 1t can be manulact-
ured into velvet, etc. The food OF
the machine includes rags of differ
ent kinds, old newspapers, and even
sawdust. The digested solution is
forced by hydraulic pressure into Il
tube, out of which it issues by a
number of invisible oriliccs in India
rubber nozzles, and thence, after
passing through water, it is wound
off upon reel. ! have examined
specimens which have all the gloss
and all the strength ofworm silk.
My wife says it is not an imitation
of silk at all, but real silk produced

Diplomacy, intrigue and influence in
Persia are dependent in large measure
on the force of character displayed by
the women. lfa man wishes to influence
another in an affair of importance, he
manages it by contiding the matter to
one or all of his wives, who in turn visit
the wives of one who has influence over
him, and by urging and presents seek TO
attain the object Most of the important
transactions of Persia are conducted in
this manner.-Cinciunati Enquirer.

The largest circus in Paris accommodates
only 1000 people, while one in ancient
Rome could hold over 100000, where
from 100 to 400 lions were let loose at a
time. Augustus filled the arena once
with $500 wild animals, and one Probus
got up free fight between 1000 wild
bears, 900 stays, 1000 rams and 1000
orstrlches, and the occupants of the
upper galleries-the gods-had the right
to shoot arrows and javelins into the
melee.-Chicago Herald.
